Ingredients

• 1 pound protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, or tempeh)
• 4 cups vegetable medley (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 0.25 cup soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 cups cooked rice or noodles

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your protein by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu or tempeh, press and cube it.

Step 2

Wash and chop your vegetables into even-sized pieces for quick and even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), honey or brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the protein, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes for chicken, shrimp, or beef; 3–4 minutes for tofu or tempeh). Remove the protein from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger. Stir for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked protein to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and toss everything to coat evenly.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.

Step 9

Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your homemade mix-and-match stir fry!
